Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 94 Atlee Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal are that the tree is too large, dangerous, and too close to the house as well as the neighbour's house located at 92 Atlee Avenue, the ongoing costs of unclogging the sewer pipe and concerns that the roots will destabilize the veranda and stairs.
The subject tree is a Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens), measuring 51 cm in diameter. The Tree by-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
